PRX!

Tried both on, compared them carefully and at the end I opted for the Gentleman. The PRX felt a bit flimsy and thin, and a bit too rooted in the 70s. I felt the Gentleman has a more timeless design, plus the added versatility of being able to switch the bracelet for straps which make it more versatile. I also like the fact that the Gentleman has the Silicium Escapement. Maybe the best route is to get the PRX in blue and the Gentleman in green... or even the lovely 18K gold two-tone version.

A question, what color do you recommend for the PRX, blue or ice blue?, that I,m undecided.

Gent has Silicium written on the dial. It is MORE resistant to magnetization than the PRX.

@@hudu3632 Actually, I just happened to read about this recently. Nivachron is the newer technology but it is not better. It is simply easier and cheaper to produce, which means we can have them in more watches vs silicon which is usually only found in pricier watches. So I got to agree with @CoolAndGood006 that the Gentleman should be more resistant to magnetism than the PRX, although not necessarily meaningfully so.

Silicium is better when it comes to magnetism.

I was captivated by the PRX right out of the gate... and was desperately anticipating the release of the automatic version... I chose the white dial w/rose gold pvd... amazingly comfortable and hard to not stare at it in every light setting... consistently losses 20 secs over 72 hours... very happy with that!

I have the green dialed one. Absolutely loving it. Instantly my new favorite watch. I also have a Tudor Black Bay, but I like this more I think! 🤔

I have both of them. And I'm really in love with these 2 beautiful watches. Hard to choose which one is better. Haha

The gentleman hands down. So classy and a nicer movement 😊

I finally went with the Gentleman Powermatic 80 blue with the bracelet. Love it. I find that the PRX looks a bit too retro for me. I have since bought the black and white Couturier, such a lovely watch and the black is definately my favorite.

Very good comparison and contrasting these two time pieces. It is a difficult decision so I guess it comes down to preference. I can see value in either watch, but I would be inclined to take the PRX since I love its aesthetics.

I have a PRX on order that should be arriving in a couple of days. The 70s style with the Royal Oak-esque waffle dial sold me on it.

I always wanted the blue dial version but ended up getting the white dial version with rose gold accents after seeing how much it popped. Maybe if Tissot comes up with an automatic version of the PRX 35mm with the same waffle dial, I’ll look into moving into the blue.

PRX is on my list of watches to buy soon. Automatic or quarts, but the automatic ross gold and blue dial model looks absolutely insane

very good comparison thank you

You forgot the Gentleman's silicium balance spring.

Since I have a Longines Conquest, il probably go PRX. Both are nice

Really nice comparison video! Wish the Gentleman came in at 39mm. Otherwise I'd pick that one. Both are really nice and one could have both in their collection.

Love them both. I have for me the best prx 80,white dial gold bezel, you know that.

I have the Gentleman quartz with white dial & brown leather strap. Really good, elegant budget watch.

Thanks for a nicely done comparison. I enjoy your quirky metaphors and your self-deprecating humor as well as your thoroughness. I think you missed one or two things. The biggest one being that while the strict measurement from the top of the PRX to the bottom is the smaller of the two so, since the first link of the bracelet doesn’t flex, the functional dimension from the top of the watch the bottom is much larger and therefore the watch wears larger, at least according to all the other reviewers of the watch. I definitely agree with your conclusion that the PRX is the more interesting of the two. Ultimately the choice is up to each individual’s personal taste. Thanks again for a very nicely done review.

I went for the Gentleman with the green dial, then added the PRX with the ice blue dial later! Tissot are a really great make. You get a lot of watch for the money!

I tried both watches at the same time, I had my eyes on the PRX, love the bracelet design. But when I tried the PRX, it didn't feel right on my wrist, the lugs kept hitting my wrist bones while the gentleman felt more "organic" on my wrist. Still love the PRX but unfortunately it was not confortable on my wrist...

I have a green PRX quartz. I plan to get a blue Gentleman caliber 80. I have four higher dollar automatics, but got the quartz as a work watch. Will use the gentleman as a work watch too. Best of both worlds.

I own the Tissot sea star 1000 powermatic 80 sunburst blue dial. I love it I get complimented on it every time I wear it I love tissot brand and considering trying to decide between these two I’m looking for a Green dial. Not sure which I love more the prx or gentleman. Or maybe save little more money up and go with something different.

Your verdict was so helpful as I genuinely couldn't decide between the two. As a musician/entrepreneur you helped me realise that I am the PRX.

Great video!

PRX just got one finally Thanks for the great content 👍🏼

What’s crazy two years in is the fact that the PRX is now $725 to $750 and the gentlemen can be had for around US$450.

Love the PRX - OAK style !!!

I found the crown on the PRX a little too small, and awkward to operate. Of these two, I’d pick the Gentleman. I think it’s an excellent all rounder, and would be a very solid option for anyone looking for a one watch collection.

For a one or two watch collection, I'd 100% go for the Gentleman. It just fits a lot of looks better. Sporty enough for casual wear, clean enough for in the office and dressy enough under suite. Looks great on a (crocodile) leather strap as well. Also the better Powermatic movement without plastic.

Beautifully shot video. I'm not a fan of the 70s designs at all and the price for the Genta pieces baffles me. The Gentleman is classy and refined and that sunray blue is gorgeous. Gets my vote 👍

All of the following is opinion of course - for me the PRX has an attractive old-timey style but the Tissot Visodate has even more old-timey style so I eventually got both the Visodate (the pre-P80 with the lovely smooth sweep) and the Gentleman - the Gentleman for me is an ideal all-arounder right up there with the best sub-$1K watches that exist. Side note the Gent wears smaller and perfect on leather on my 7" wrist. Great review thanks.

I prefer the gentleman all the way. I think its design Is much more elegant even though probably not so original...and the movement Is slightl ty Better too. Anyway, your videos are great, beautiful images and you are a nice guy, congrats and Keep on the great work!

To my eye, the PRX looks like something from a 1980’s mail order catalog. There’s no comparison: Gentleman all the way. In Blue. No crosshair.

use the gentleman’s wrist band with the prx frame… would be iconic 👌

Tissot is hands down my favorite brand. The PRC200 is my favorite model series. With that said, I have the Gentleman P80 in black. It's a great low end compliment to my GS SBGA203. I love looking at them side by side, and thinking which scenarios dictate the more appropriate watch. With that said, I would be game to get the PRX P80 in blue. However, I can't imagine fitting it in my routine. My wish would be to get the Gentleman in both titanium and Powermatic 80.

I bought the PRX with the black dial just recently. I have a pretty extensive collection, so getting something funky was a no brainer. If I were to have only one or two watches I'd probably get the Gentleman.

Ordered a PRX today

Both beautiful, if money no issue buy both or you can buy PRX blue wafle dial automatic and buy Quartz for Gentleman 😊

Went into the shop with PRX in mind, thought it was too small for my wrist and spotted the Gentleman next to it, got it with the black dial and it's so much nicer in my opinion. Of course they are different designs but the Gentleman has it all for me personally.

2 different watches. Personally, the PRX was my choice but I don't think one would go wrong with either.

Getting the prx because I'm gonna try get a datejust 41 blue

To me the PRX looks bigger. I think ppl underestimate how much the size of the dial itself can make a watch look bigger/smaller.

Guys I'm not sure what should be my next watch. Tissot Gentleman or Mido Multifort! Any suggestion?

I have the Gentleman Powermatic 80 (I bought it before the PRX even existed), but even then, I prefer the Gentleman over the PRX. BTW: your comment about the PRX having a superior balance spring, is not really true. The Gentleman has a silicon balance spring that is superior to the Nivacron balance spring of the PRX (at least what concerns magnetic resistance). The two additional jewels of the Gentleman come from the pallet fork; the Gentleman has a classic pallet fork (with two jewels) while the PRX has a synthetic pallet fork (kind of plastic and without jewels).

@atourdeforce

2 жыл бұрын

Saying its kind of plastic is soo misleading, and not even remotely true. Its escapment is made from silicon, there is zero plastic in it. In the early stages people read synthetic(which it is) and presumed that meant plastic or glass reinforced plastic, which is where the misnomer came from. The whole reason it has 2 less Jewels is because its made from silicon and doesn't need the 2 extra jewels in the palet forks, the palet forks are made from silicon and silicon is ultra low friction, even lower than jewels. Even Patek are starting to use fully synthetic(silicon) escapements, which should tell you everything you need to know. You point on the balance spring is also not exactly true and misleading. There is no evidence anywhere to suggest the Nivachron spring is less or more antimagnetic than the Silicium Spring and many watch experts are now surmising that it is just a marketing ploy and that both are equally as good. I'm not suggesting that the antimagnetism factor is a marketing ploy, as its not. My point is having either one of these in your watch is superior to a regular balance spring, but there is no evidence to suggest the Silicium is better than the Nivachron or vice versa.

Gentleman is a strap MONSTER! It kicked out the speedy for me, it's unreal.

I like the PRX dial more, but hate "hexagonal" watches and the case and bracelet are both too flat and angular. For the same reason I prefer the Seamaster Professional over the Submariner. The Seamaster's curved lugs are just beautiful!

PRX has 2 less jewels because of the pallet fork and the escapement wheel being synthetic, and as synthetic materials have self lubricating properties there is no need of putting that 2 extra jewels. This alongside the silicium hairspring are the only differences between the 2 movements. Many people will argue that plastic parts on the PRX are a shame and a dealbreaker, but for me both are well made and equally reliable.

1:29 dial colour??

as an owner of le locle automatic that is dressy i would go for the prx , but if i didn't had the le locle i would go for the gent first for its timeless design and better movement

I own both of them & for some reason I have more visible scratches on the PRX bracelet than the Gentleman.

Just bought prx will be delivered by tommarow

which one SILICIUM and Open Heart better

The little brother is still wearing his leash,, the integrated bracelet looks nice but no option for strap replacement

PRX any day! Great vid btw

Hi, thank you so much for watching. I hope you enjoyed. The Gentleman would be a good fit, it's a little more classy and traditional in my eyes.

gentleman.

I have just tried the PRX that I've been dreaming of for months. But when I finally tried it in offline store, it felt kinda too formal-ish? I have rather large wrist, and I'm used to wear big diver watches 43-44mm, and the design of the PRX in person looks so not casual like it will feel so weird if i'm going to use it with T shirt and shorts or jeans. So I think I'm going to go for Gentleman but definitely going to buy some aftermarket straps.

❤ PRX🏆👏😎 But may I say,one can't go wrong with the gentleman either... if you can ? purchase both 😃

PRX all day, hands down. The gentleman’s is fine, but If I’m getting a submariner, I’d rather save the room in my collection for something a bit more high end. PRX is so unique. Don’t miss out by buying the gentleman’s.

Gent has a nicer looking green dial. I am dial first so that would be my choice.

Gentleman for me

Gentleman open heart is absolutely magnificent

incorrect on the magnetism. Silicium (silicon) isn't magnetic at all.

For me, inability to remove the bracelet in favour of a strap is a deal-breaker on the PRX, even if I didn’t already prefer the dial on the Gentleman. If Tissot added a screw-down crown and dumped the display case-back, the Gentleman would really put a wrinkle into Rolex Datejust sales.

The .111 movement had a plastic part, the .611 does not.

9:09 and the gent has silicone wich is wayyyy better 🤣🤦‍♂

Your comparison of the movement falls short when you try and compare navichron in the PRX to the jewels in the Gentleman. The Gentleman uses a silicone hairspring which is ultimately more antimagnetic than Navichron (a metal alloy). It is literally plastered on the Gentleman that it has a silicium hairspring.
